Talk about leaving a decent tip.........!

The 'Zizzi' pizza restaurant in London's Strand area was the subject of a bizarre incident yesterday when a man in his mid thirties walked into the restaurant, walked down to the kitchens, picked up a carving knife and cut off his penis, leaving it in the kitchen before, as police reported, going berserk and having to be subdued with CS gas.



It's not clear if he was going berserk before cutting off his penis but I could quite understand his distress following the incident.

Whether this was a protest at the standard of sausages served in 'Zizzi' has not been made clear, but medical staff at the South London hospital to which he was taken were sadly unable to re-attach the severed appendage.

Is this because they couldn't find it, I wonder? Not wishing to further damage the reputation of 'Zizzi' whose management were not exactly cock-a-hoop (sorry) about publicity for their restaurant, but I bet the sales of hot dogs have dropped alarmingly over the last 24 hours!

This is an outrage and I think you do a disservice by publishing this post.

It is only going to lead to young impressionable kids or, worse, psychotics, to copy this action, and then you will have a penis-less empire where only the upper lips are stiff.

I don't think kitchen-knife control will work, but I think there ought to be sanctions against Italian restaurants, which are clearly the cause of more than occasional indigestion.

I'm afraid it's too late! 'The Knife Owners of Great Britain' have joined forces with the 'It's MY Penis!' pressure group for a mass rally in Hyde Park next Sunday, fearing government action to stop repetition of this distasteful business.

A spokesperson for 'Cutting Edge' as the new alliance is called said 'state intervention would be a betrayal of all we fought for. If a man can't cut off his own penis in public what was the Battle of Hastings all about, eh?'

So far no answer has been provided.
